the hanging wall 10 the northeast dis
lance OF forty-six feet which shows the
ore to be the same all the way along. A
cross-cut was started To the southwest
which was expected TO breast in the foot
wall at distance OF not more than five
feet, but IL has now been driven in thir-
teen feet, twelve OF which is in clean ore,
without finding the wall, which can not
be far off as the ground now in indicates
that IL is near by. A drift has been car
ried to the southeast short distance
and will be continued at some future
time. The northeast drift will be worked
until the wall il clearly shown up, the
material now being penetrated is "A rich
iron slate, which is thought, in fact al
most known not TO be the true wall. The
southwest drift will be continued until
the wall il located when another drift
will be commenced and carried in
another working shaft will be com
menced. Developing will go on as rapidly
as possible and the property placed in
such shape that mining and hosting the
beautiful ore can be commence at "A mo-
mentS' notice. A number OF test pits for
the purpose OF tracing the vein are soon
to be lowered at the edge Of the swamp
to the north. A large bent has recently
been builtwhich greatly facilitates hoist
ing; fifty buckets OF ore being raised in
forty-hve minutes.
Two shifts are now at work on the
Eta (Greggory-Scadden property on
section twenty-one, 1882, and sinking is
to be pushed as rapidly as possible,
though the management viii have much
TO contend with. The ground here is all
sand and very wet and itisexpected that
this will have To be penetrated n distance
Of one hundred and forty feet before the
ledge il encountered. The undertaking il
n big one but men Of the right sort are
backing it up and success can only attend
the work. In conversation with a DTA-
MoND DRILL representative recently Mr..
Scadden said: 1--WE have got q big piece
OF work before us there but we are deter
mined TO hang 90 il until we find what
we are after and il is there. The sand il
very wet and we will have to proceed
cautiously, but as we are not doing the
work for the fun OF it, we will make il our
business to go down. II we were doing
this work for fun we would go where the
sand is not quite so deep and water not
IL.
and we will drop right ON the continue
tion of the Great Western vein, but we
have got 20 work forit." IL stands quite
TO reason that man OF the experience in
mining that Mr.. Scadden possesses would
ever undertake such huge and costly
piece OF work unless heispretty confident
of SUCCESS.
The Dunn mine continues to hustle
along and IL making a mighty effort TO
get out 40, 900 tons Of ore before naviga-
ton closes, and under the careful man
agcmcnt Of Supt, +. Florada, IL Is safe TO
predict the shipment viii not iall short "A
pound. In the development OF this very
large mine Mr. Florada is showing II mas
ter hand Az is usual with the opening
Of a new mine from which it is necessary
to ship certain amount Of ore during a
given time, the mine, alter the work il
done IL left in very bad shape, more at-
tcntiou being paid TO getting out the orr
than mining and the result is that q vast
amout OF dead work has TO be done in
order 20 place Improperly in Ia condition
that work can be carried on with any de-
gree Of safety, but it il not SO at the
Dunn, as Mr.. Florada Is n gentleman OF
wide experience and knows the folly OF
such proceedings and while getting out
ore very rapidly, lac is doingit in a way
that will not prove an injury TO the mine
and cause aggrcvating and expensive de.
laysin future seasons in doing work which
should have been done at the time the
ore was taken out. The York Iron Co.,
h TO be congratulated upon It's good for
tune in securing such a worthy and eX-
poricnced man Co manage it's affairs.
The Parks & Tobin mine on the north
east quarter Of che southeast quarter OF
section fourteen, 1882, IL soon 20 be
actively wrought, work will undoubtedly
be commenced not later than next week.
This property, which Is very valuable
one, has long been in litigation and IL Is
